Re: Will Hitsugaya get taller?

I didn't mean that they have different reiatsus, I meant that lets say a higher reiatsu output could possibly lead to slower aging. Sure toshiro is young but he could be staying young, as in mid teens to early 20's longer then other shinigamis because of a higher reiatsu output.
In naruto the slow aging has not been explained properly except that it has something to do with strong chackra, for example the Uzumaki clan having really long life spans and Madara too but not many others in the Uchiha clan, if any have shown this trait.
I am not attempting to pinpoint a source for the ageing differences really, just a general thought

Well, but in context what evidence do we have to suggest this? My point was that hitsugaya looks precisely the way he is supposed to at his age so why would we think high levels of reiatsu have anything to do with this? If anything, hitsugaya is precisely not a potential example of this if we take in consideration that actual and literal ordinary shinigami youth 100% explains him. I am more of the idea that before putting out theories of why hitsugaya is staying young he would in fact have had to stay young for a extremely long period of time by shinigami standards. It is just about 100 years to early too suggest hitsugaya has stayed young for an unusual amount of time. Hiyori in turn could be a potential example of this however none of us are ready to believe her reiatsu is exceptionally strong (she is of the lesser vizards) and if reiatsu of her level is enough to stay young then it would not explain why others (like gin or byakuya) didn't stay young due to growing stronger or why hiyori being THAT awesome is not currently a captain level fighter with bankai (her having bankai is a clear possibility however the overall level she has shown is not even on hitsugaya's tier just yet).

Ok, that explains what you are saying better to me My reading comprehension can be of at times and I apologize for that. I really have no foundation for my claims on this particular matter. I skipped a bit sort of. I agree that Toshiro looks like he should at his age and that there is nothing weird with either him being short or him not growing taller. I mean we have seen him during very short time periods so there really is no way of determining that he is "short".

Hiyori is an example hard to take into account when calculating ageing as none of the waizards have changed over 100 years. Maybe the hollowfication of them slows ageing? Honestly though in the end I don't think there is any way to reason this then it being Kubo not really caring about having strict bodily maturing rules. It is a place of the supernatural after all.

Not saying that all shinigamis grow at the same phase but it looks like a slower natural progression.
He will become taller....and more awesome.

Yeah, but at the same time, Hiyori didn't change at all in those 110 years...
So, I guess it's really inconsistent...

True love will conquer everythingThe question now is : which of those two loves, is the true one?!

It's because Hiyori was most probably an adult already by that time.
In fact, I doubt there is anything to suggest the opposite of it. Hiyori was a vice-captain, so, she couldn't possibly be that young.
Gin's growing was more or less complete by the time Momo, Renji and Hisagi got into the Academy and Gin himself was a vice-captain. So, from 110 years ago to around 50 years ago, is our time span.
Let's assume Gin to be a 10 year-old kid when he first graduated. It means his growth most likely stopped by the time he was 60 or so.
That would actually mean Hiyori was past her sixties when she first appeared in the pendulum arc.

But she still looks like a kid?!
She doesn't look older than Hitsugaya!

All that ever changed was their hair style, a ten year old looking Gin doesn't have to be ten year old, a thirty looking shinigami can be a two hundred or thousand year old spirit. The aging in Bleach is a mess and will being so until the end of it, so I don't really care about anything but estimates.
